- Project Description
-
We made a revolutionary product that can help us fight against global warming and climate change: a product called biodiesel. Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils, yellow grease, used cooking oils, and animal fats. The production process, called transesterification, converts oils and fats into chemicals called long-chained monoalkyl.. Biodiesel emits less pollution than petroleum diesel, improves engine lubricity, has a higher cetane number than diesel fuel, has no aromatics, no sulfur, and 10-11% oxygen by weight. The second product is glycerin, which can be used in medicine. Project aims to promote waste oil collection and get biodiesel from it.
